My hatred for Nugent is more about his hypocrisy than anything else. It's one thing to be against a war and not want to fight in it. I know how he feels. I felt the same way when I was drafted with a 9-week old son during Vietnam. By the Grace of God, I lucked out and served my two years stateside....but I had no way of knowing that was going to happen during my nine weeks of basic combat training. We had more than 500,000 troops on the ground in Vietnam at that time. There is a difference where Nugent is concerned, though...because after he pulled his chicken-shit stuff to avoid the darft, he now talks like one tough mother-fucker who would have been a helluva macho soldier...while he wraps himself in the flag. You don't get that from me....or from Bill Clinton or Howard Dean. I would hope you could see the difference, as it is crystal clear.
That's what sets the multitude of Republican Chickenhawks apart....people like Dick Cheney, George W Bush, Saxby Chambliss, and hundreds of others. They push unnecessary wars for somebody else to fight, while they talk patriotism & wrap themselves in the flag and remain far removed from danger themselves....and, in the case of Iraq, personally profit from the bloodshed of others. If somebody wants to be in favor of a useless war in Vietnam or Iraq, they had better be goddamned ready to fight in it themselves. Otherwise, they should all burn in hell....and the hottest places in hell should be reserved for those Republican Chickenhawks. And here they are:
